| Summary: | The affectivity of ethanol extracts of clove (Syzygium aromaticum ), curcumin (Curcuma
longa), ginger (Zingiber officinale) and khat (Catha edulis) were examined against Malassizia furfur.
Ethanol extracts were prepared as (10% W/V). The yeast was obtained from ptyriasis versicolor (PV)
infections and Sabouraud's dextrose agar medium + olive oil was used to isolate the yeast from the skin
scrapes. The results of triplicate tests showed no yeasts developed in clove's extract treatment. The
activity of curcumin extract was less than the medicinal soap treatment which was used as positive
control. While ginger and khat treatments affect on the visible colonies characteristics only but not on
their abundance in culture plates. The MIC for the clove extract and medicinal soap was compared by
series of dilutions (10,5,2.5,1.25,o.625) mg/ml. Clove represent antifungal activity till the end, while it
was 1.25mg/ml in medicinal soap treatment. |
